I need your opinions about these Workstations/Synths Virtual or Analog, with sequencer, all in one.The M50 sounds without the sampling option, and vocoder, can produce dance music styles like Drum and Bass, Dub/Ragga, Trip Hop or Downtempo/Lounge/Jazz, Breakbeat, Noisepop, etc?

Of the options you mention, I'm pretty sure the M50 is the best all-in-one box solution. It has a very modern soundset, and is esp. strong -- for a ROMpler -- on synth sounds (dance, trance, etc. etc.).

Now, a different option would be to go for a budget workstation (older generation, e.g. Triton Extreme or Motif ES) AND a second synth, a VA. You might get a wider sonic range that way...

My vote would go to the M-50 as well, this little beast can cover a lot of ground!

Thanks, but what you think about the EMX1 Electribes with Kaoss Pad 3, are a better solution then M50 or M3 for Drum and bass, and DUB/Downtempo, and Minimal Techno/Rave/Psy Trance?

I need a machine workstation to produce Drum and bass jungle sounds like this example:

The korg m50 or m3 can produce this dnb song, or an EMX1+KP3 are better, with more DNB sounds, filters and effects, easy to use machines?

I doubt that the M50 can give you the results you want - it doesn't have the sampling capabilities that seem to be essential to the type of music you want to do. Furthermore, some of the sounds in that video you posted for reference sound very much like VA - I am not saying that the M50 is incapable of sounding like that but it is, after all, a ROMpler and therefore aimed at producing a wide variety of sounds, among which you will find many that you probably don't need.

The M3, however, offers Sampling as well as an (optional!) extension board that gives it the functionality of a Radias (EXB-Radias) - a virtual modeling synth that seems to be more suited to producing the kind of sounds you need.
So if you want to go with an all-in-one package, I would say the M3 is what you need.

Exactly.
